If Money Talked … What would it say about you?

LUKE 12 (NIV)
15 (Jesus) said to them, “Watch out! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; life does not consist in an abundance of possessions.”

Greed is the assumption that is all for my consumption.

LUKE 12 (NIV)
16 And he told them this parable: “The ground of a certain rich man yielded an abundant harvest. 17 He thought to himself, ‘What shall I do? I have no place to store my crops.’ 18 “Then he said, ‘This is what I’ll do. I will tear down my barns and build bigger ones, and there I will store my surplus grain. 19 And I’ll say to myself, “You have plenty of grain laid up for many years. Take life easy; eat, drink and be merry.” ’ 20 “But God said to him, ‘You fool! This very night your life will be demanded from you. Then who will get what you have prepared for yourself?’

LUKE 12 (NIV)
21 (Jesus concluded,) “This is how it will be with whoever stores up things for themselves but is not rich toward God.”

If Money Talked, It would say: “I can add meaning to your life, but I am not the meaning of life.”

You can’t follow Jesus and not invite him into the realm of your personal finances
